Ok, so, I originally come from a country with ZERO foxes so this is new. I first met this fox as I was out at 1:00 AM during a brisk walk after an argument with someone. I was just trying to cool my head when this fox came out of nowhere from a nearby parking lot. It was all fine until I realized it was following me and was quickly getting closer than a usual fox would dare. I ended up running and of course it chased me (no idea if it did chase me or was just curious why I was running so it decided to run too). That was a week ago and now this fox has been visiting the front of our apartment building around 10:30 pm onwards. So far I’ve met it 4 times. I have 3 tiny dogs so I don’t dare to go out with them all alone with this fox just lurking and waiting in the dark (and yes, you can see its shiny eyes in the dark). One of the visits, it tried to walk up to us, like just inches away before our dogs barked at it like mad. It did back off but peed just right outside the apartment building’s door (as shown on the pic, next to the bicyles). We thought maybe it would be enough and it won’t come back anymore but here we are. It’s currently outside as I type this.
Is there any way I can do shoo this fox away? Do you think it will harm our dogs? Why is it stalking us? And what did I do in my past life to deserve being chased by a fox in the middle of the night?
Thanks, Sweddit!

k0j7fcyThey get used to humans. If someone fed it, it just follows you thinking it will get food. They’re amazing animals, but they can have rabies, so i wouldn’t try cuddling with it. The best thing you can do is to just let it be.
